The Origins of Occupy Your City

Unlike the rest of the mainstream media Chicago ABC affiliate, WLS channel 7 has done some investigation of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The Occupy Wall Street domain was registered on June 9th in Vancouver, British Columbia by Adbuster founder, Kalle Lasn. Anarchist Lisa Fithian (see our post here) spent a full week in Chicago coaching the demonstrators. The Occupy Chi domain is owned by a La Porte, Indiana man, Andrew Smith, so all that Chicago has furnished is the "useful idiots". All the worldwide protests link to Occupy Together, another domain owned by Kalle Lasn. Visitors to the Occupy web sites will notice that they all use the Occupy Fill-in-the-city. org addresses. They also like the same block letter graphics with plenty of red and black but graphic are the only example of originality in this movement. This whole thing looks like it is the work of a small worldwide network of anarchists, a monkey see, monkey do sequel to the Arab spring.
